Hardware Controllers: Joysticks/Yokes | Throttle Quads | Rudder Pedals | Drivers etc

Hello, I’m contemplating a new yoke as I’m growing tired of tinkering with the Brunner and have recently encountered a few aircraft I couldn’t get it to work with at all AN225 and Asobo 787). The fulcrum seems ideal at a great price but the communication from the vendor has been nearly non-existent and I can’t confirm they are actually shipping anything. The Yoko+ is currently my front runner (and ships within a few weeks as quickly confirmed by their support staff) and would nicely match my TQ6+ and Ruddo+, but it carries a hefty price tag (even with my 15% loyalty discount). On the other hand there’s a good chance it would be the last yoke I ever need to buy.…

Yesterday all good. Today nothing works. Any ideas how to troubleshoot ? I've updated Flightdeck plugins etc.

Anyone using the Honeycomb yoke and/or throttles? Thanks Jim CYWG

I'm on my 2nd Bravo and I have little confidence that it would last. I've been looking for a better option with no success. Do y'all know if there's a TQ out there that can be adapted to multiple aircrafts but with better build quality with hall sensors? Cheers!

Hi Folks. I'm needing a bit of techy help. I have a wireless dongle into a usb port on the front of my pc. It is used for my wireless keyboard and mouse and works well. I currently have a wired headset into the rear 3.5 mm jacks. My question is this, would that same dongle support two wireless headsets also? I have a buddy who has asked to 'sit in' on some flights with me. I would replace my wired headset with one of the wireless ones. Cheers...Ken. edit. It looks like Bluetooth settings in my pc is the answer. I'll investigate that further.

Quite simply, I was wondering if there was anywhere where people post their profiles for various MSFS aircraft who use the TCA Airbus stick? There are obviously so many different aircraft and each one has its own flying characteristics and it can take so much time to individually trial and error each aircraft's controller settings. Thank you!

I use Facetracknoir in combination with my Tobii. And i would like to map Start stop on my alpha. But if i try it, it does not work. If i bind it onto my mouse it works. Anyone have a clue what could be the Problem?

Can you guys a recommend a 6 axis throttle quadrant with hall effect sensors?

Hey all- I've got a Saitek rudder that I've had for a while. The right brake recently failed. Tried all the usual things to try and fix it. It doesn't feel any different, but there is no input from the sensor. I really don't want to toss the rudders for one thing that I could possibly fix. Does anyone have any ideas?

Greetings. I am looking for a motorized B737 TQ. Looks like there not many companies who make it. I am wondering if anyone has experience with 737TQ from “Cockpit For You”. They have several different options available for acceptable price. Thanks.

Although I have a haptic chair, it's not a motion chair. The cheapest motion chair that I know of is the M3 by DOF. Video from 4 years ago says $899, but it's $1150 now. It may be expensive to ship to America, or maybe not... An upgrade model H3 (this video is only 1 day old): -------------------- Another popular model is the Next Level Racing V3 which amazon and some other places have for $3500. But I see it's $2900 ($600 less) at BH Photo (a large online store in business for decades). It is only 2 axis: pitch and roll. But quality built. https://www.amazon.com/Next-Level-Racing-Motion-Platform-pc/…

After years my PFC yoke has given up. My options now are the Yoko or the Brunner CLS-E? Tempted to go for the Brunner as it'll probably be a much better experience with GA in MSFS with proper flight models. Pricing is just about the same. Anyone have any experience with either in MSFS - and specifically with the Brunner in MSFS?

Hi All. Apologies if I get some things wrong in this post, I'm new to X-Plane and figuring things out as I go along. My 12-year-old son recently spent some of his hard-earned money on Facebook Marketplace for a Logitech Yoke. He's trying to use it with X-Plane 12, which he as been playing for a couple of months with keyboard and mouse.. The yoke he bought came with the "Leo Bodnar" modification to address the deadzone issue. However, when he tries to calibrate it, X-Plane is asking him to calibrate "Axis 0" - He has no Axis 0, just roll and pitch (Axis 1 & 2, which work fine). Can anyone offer any guidance as to how to configure things? Thanks…

Just got my honeycomb 737 setup complete with new flap detents that mimic the real flap operations. The spoiler handle also pulls up and has its detents. Here are some pics https://photos.app.goo.gl/wyoFsNityxdD76e7A Anyone interested check out FlightsimFactory https://www.etsy.com/listing/1549614425/new-737-pro-v2-throttle-set-for?click_key=1bb0b4b69d7d66d0b15add6e178567907958c79e%3A1549614425&click_sum=0c4bff30&ref=shop_home_feat_2&pro=1&sts=1

Hi, I recently bought a used MCP from OpenCockpits V3 Unfortunately I discovered a problem with MCP. At some point during operation, which can happen after 20 minutes or even after 3 hours, the MCP no longer reacts. I have to unplug the power cable from MCP and plug it back in, but also need to restart the software until it responds. I can almost rule out software problems because I also had the problem with SPADNEXT. I also bought the complete software from flightsim4fun. The problem is really very strange and occurs very sporadically, it can cause no problems for several hours or it happens every 10 to 20 minutes. Somehow I have t…

Hi, I currently have an offer for an MCP from OpenCockpits. This is about the V2 (I think the current V3 is) I got an offer for 300 euros and am considering whether I should buy it. The V3 is available from OpenCockpits for 491 euros. I wonder if I should still buy V2? I looked in google but didn't find any posts to compare V2 and V3. That's why I wanted to ask you what you think of it? and if anyone has MCP from OpenCockpits ? I would like to take it for 737 , 777 and 747 in P3D and for 737 in MSFS. Will the V2 software still work for the simulators?

I'm trying to get my VRInsight MCP IIB working with MSFS, through Spad Next, but I'm going to need some guidance in how to do this. I looked in the manuals of both, but besides Spad Next manual saying that MCP II is supported, I havent been able to fin anything. I've installed the VRInsight VRiSim and MCP II Combo software. On the Spad Settings/Devices page Ive set up a Serial device, with the Serial Port Com3 (which is the port the VRInsight is connected to), and a VRInsight protocol, restarted Spad and then I get a button saying VRINSIGHT MCP II, but nothing happens when I activate that button. In the settings window it says I have to click a button, but that doesn…

Hi, I'm looking for a set, yoke, throttles and flaps/spoilers levers, i'd be flying a 738 mainly, but it doesn't need to be specific for this aircraft, I know I can't be picky since my budget is only $500. Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

I'm thinking of getting two Logitech USB TQs in order to have 6 axes for a twin prop a/c (2 ea throttle, prop and mixture). There now seems to be two versions of the USB TQ. What seems to be a newer version as shown here https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/products/flight/flight-simulator-throttle-quadrant.945-000032.html and an older version as shown here https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Pro-Flight-Throttle-Quadrant/dp/B01M00UHE3 Note for example, that the "older" TQ has a green power on LED in the lower left hand corner while the newer one does not. Are there any other differences between these two TQs? I know the "older" version has a switch at the botto…

I just bought one from Phd store at 178 dollar (129+customs) it was looking impressive on the picture and a good substitution for my Logitech. But what a disaster ! It is not usable at all as there is no rudder command ! (no Z axis) and X and Y axis are not linear, just 4 simple micro switches giving 0 or 100%. After 5 hrs, i gave up trying different settings in FSUIPC...just lost 180 dollars ! I feel cheated

Community, I was looking at the Logitech add-ons but now came upon these gorgeous MCP's. Wow. Any recommendations on MCP's for MSFS 2020 / 2024? Mainly just fly 737's. Tim

I just completed a "Saitek ProFlight 180 Rotation Upgrade kit" project. If you are interested to see how its works, here is the video link for my prototype testing. https://youtu.be/kyGshdBoo6k Thanks.

Hi This is really weird. I had the Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas One for years with FSX/SE. It worked great, always reliable. Then a month ago, the throttle lever started giving me a range of 50% engine power to a 100%. Pushing the throttle all the way down has no effect. No idle position. The minimum power setting starts at 50%! So obviously I cannot fly any plane. The only way to bring the power to idle is by hitting the F1 on the keyboard. The same phenomenon happens in the Aerofly 1 sim. When I calibrate the hardware inside fsx, the throttle bar is shown halfway up, even though the physical throttle is in the lowest position. So i thought, OK, my joystick is …

I've been getting some new throttle handle extensions for my honecomb bravo. Some of the sets require taking the original throttles, and screwing in the handles into the originals. It's a bit of a pain to then switch one set to another so I was looking to just buy another set of replacement original honeycomb throttles. Their website indicates all of them are sold out. Does anyone have any info on this, when they may be back available again or another workaround? Thanks
